I am continuing the work to simplify and improve pBurn.
I want to minimize the number of settings in the burn-options dialog. That's why I ask you to do this simple test:

Burn a data CD on-the-fly. (Burn an iso-image is something else.)
It doesn't matter what version of pBurn you are running, but please fill the disc to test the memory-handling fully.

By default, pBurn uses the 'temporary storage' option, but I want to simplify this if CD's burn fine on-the-fly. In the old days it was recommended to use temporary storage for CDs, but now when memory is a less limitation on systems, I think it would work just fine on-the-fly. As you might figure out of this, it will be even more interesting if you are running a system with 256Mb of ram or less.
I don't want to change these options if I am not absolutely sure of the consequences. pBurn are too stable to fool with. That is why I need help by several of you.

It would also be valuable to know what burner device you have.

Hopefully the burning will succeed, but whatever result you get, it would be great if you attach the logfile here.

I think if you're burning an iso image it is the same as not burning on the fly.
Anyway, I've always burned on the fly, but on on modern machines (900Mhz and up, not sure about the ram - recently 512 to 1024, but possibly down to 128 originally). Only with high speed drives - 52x for cd and 16x for DVD._________________DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS

OK, what I did was burn a copy of the .iso rather than the usual unpacking of the .iso to create a bootable disc. I thought that this would be the same as just burning 693 MB of any other type of data.

So, for the purposes of this test, does it make any difference if I burn 2 files of 350 MB each or 100 files of 7 MB each?

LATER:- Back on the test machine now and have just done a burn of 2 videos, a few large .pets and a jpeg image, making 699 MB of data. Attaching the log.

LOL, was going to get the new pBurn to grab some code setups, but could not help but respond, I've kind off, burned my own on the fly stuff for so long (w/o pBurn, since 2005) that I've never ran into an issue, EVER, using on the fly burning. you can even remote burn on the fly to a networked computer that has a burner. -

Does it matter if its a CDR vs a CDRW? And, as I review this thread, it seems you do NOT want us to try this with an existing multi-session CD, is that correct?
